I saw the above today today. However the real error occurs BEFORE the
section dump. In my case it a BUG_*() about telnet globals too big (an
unresolved symbol).

It seems that the addition of -Wl,-M in the Makefile in 1.5.0 causes the
map to be printed if there is a link failure.

So, Christian, check your error messages more carefully - perhaps there
is another error before the start of the map dump.
